LYRICS

V1
I don't wanna fall in love again
I don't wanna feel the hurt
We’ve tried so many times
We aint ever gonna work
I dont wanna lay in bed alone
Mullin’ over what went wrong
I dont wanna play this guitar
Singing that same sad song.

PreCH
But I miss you babe
There’s no denying that
I miss you babe
But I never, ever want you back

CH1
Stay the hell away from me
I don't wanna feel the ecstasy,
Of your body writhing next to me
Just stay the hell away.

I don't wanna feel your moistened lips
Glide beneath my fingertips
Or the sultry wetness of your kiss
Just stay the hell away

From me.

V2
I dont wanna think about last time
you kicked me to the curb
So many painful memories
I’d jus’ soon not disturb
I’ve got my life in order now
I ain’t gon’ have you in it.
So hear my mind, forget my heart
You’re grip is gone, we’re finished

CH2
SOLO

BR
I’ve been your slave from the very start
Your wrapped your chain around my broken heart
Now I’ve broken free
I’m living life for me
Just me

Very emotional. I can feel it. Good production work. It would be good if you could post the lyrics here. The instrumentation is good. The guitar solo is awesome. Nice vocals. Well done. Congratulations!

Ben, Rob, Steve....

Thanks for the encouragement. I truly appreciate it.
Jaime, the guitarist, came over today and we listened to the song a few times in the course of mixing, mastering and setting it up for Spotify.
Then we put it up on Spotify.

When we finished, we met another buddy for a celebratory drink.
In the truck, on the way home, the novice audio engineer in me, is already hearing things that I am not liking.
That axiom, "life's a bitch and then you die" came to mind as some of the air flowed out of my balloon.


Nonetheless, the song has been blast to struggle with. The most fun that I have ever had with a song, and I deeply appreciate your comments.

Marty

Rob, I'll put the lyrics up in the AM.

Great stuff, Marty! Wonderfully atmospheric vocals as usual and you have a way of putting across a song as if you're talking to me. Excellent production - feels like you're in the room.

Thanks Gavin.
The "talkin to me" comment is the best compliment that I could hope for.
And I spent hours trying to get all of this song..."in the room." Thanks for saying that I did.
It makes me feel great.

Regards
Marty
